Does anyone have any Idea on how to get the pilot bearing out of the D17? I have a seal puller but i have already busted my knuckles when the thing slipped off the bearing...Any info is greatly appreciated.

use a small die grinder, or an actual pilot bearing puller

or unbolt the flywheel and tap it out with a socket.

or press it out on a press before you press the new one in.

Does it have to be pressed in?

I have thought about takin the flywheel off and punchin it out but how hard would it be to hold the flywheel and torque that sucker back on?

it doesnt Have to be pressed in. A level surface with a peice of wood or something to beat it in evenly and a BFH. Just make sure its seated the whole way.

^ and seated evenly.

It isn't difficult to put the flywheel back on man, just get a couple bolts in and it holds itself. Make sure you torque the bolts evenly going back on.

Yea I couldnt get it so I just put the suspension back together and had it towed to the local shop. It will cost me some money but it needs to be done properly....

how come you couldnt get it? Coulda had someone hold the engine still by the crank pulley so you could take the bolts out. Or use a impact gun to blow those suckers off. Oh well i guess its too late now

oh yeah if its like other honda motors the bearing only goes in one way..thats probably why you couldnt pull it out.
